Four staples in the head and a concussion. This was the cost for one CBS 6 photojournalist covering an anti-fascist march in Richmond, Virginia, where he was struck in the back of the head with a blunt object.

The Guardian is pushing harder into philanthropy as it — like other news publishers — struggles to find a profitable model for news online.

Over the past year, we have taken several steps to reduce false news and hoaxes on Facebook. Currently, we do not allow advertisers to run ads that link to stories that have been marked false by third-party fact-checking organizations. Now we are taking an additional step. If Pages repeatedly share stories marked as false, these repeat offenders will no longer be allowed to advertise on Facebook.

Earlier this month, a few days after Donald Trump said that he would support a new "merit-based" immigration bill dubbed the RAISE Act, Time's interactive news team had a question: Just how many people would make the cut were such a system implemented?
With that question in mind, the team created a short questionnaire modeled after the proposed bill, asking readers questions about their age, whether they plan to invest money in the U.S. (worth a maximum of 12 points) and even whether they've won a Nobel Prize (25 points).
